About ChipHarbor

A harbor for the open silicon era.

ChipHarbor lowers the threshold for chip design and tapeout by combining ECOS55 templates, shared manufacturing modes, online signoff, order management, and visible delivery WIP.

Mission

Make chip design and tapeout open, affordable, and accessible.

From ideas to silicon, the platform gives independent builders, students, research groups, and teams a guided way to reach real ECOS55 chips.

The product focuses first on online ordering, Submission management, Signoff checks, manufacturing WIP tracking, and delivery management. Future platform work can connect cloud-native chip design tools to the same flow.

Vision

To be the harbor for the open silicon era, where every chip idea can set sail.

Cost

Lower manufacturing cost

MPW and MPC sharing reuse manufacturing, IO, package, board, and test resources so small projects can participate.

Flow

Lower engineering complexity

Pre-verified templates and online signoff turn a scattered backend process into a legible sequence.

Delivery

Traceable production

Tapeout Voyage WIP gives users a single view across tapeout, fabrication, packaging, board assembly, and shipping.

Values

Principles for a shared chip voyage.

Open by Default

Support open PDKs, open IP, open SoCs, open EDA, and reusable learning resources.

Accessible Silicon

Make real fabrication reachable for small teams, classrooms, labs, and independent projects.

Builders First

Design product flows around the next concrete step: submit, sign off, order, pay, track, receive.

Engineering Trust

Prefer clear constraints, verified templates, signoff artifacts, and accountable WIP status.

Shared Voyage

Use shared shuttle and chip infrastructure to reduce cost while keeping each user journey visible.

Learn, Tape Out, Iterate

Connect education, open contribution, manufacturing, bring-up, and the next design revision.
